Fastmail it is, because I care about UX and ease of transition more than I am fussed about super duper privacy.

And the ease of transition with Fastmail is :chefskiss:

Interesting question to ask yourself as an autistic person: do I trust this person enough to communicate with them without masking? The result is often very direct (blunt, rude) and you're trusting they will assume your intentions are good and interpret in that light.

I temporarily forgot the word 'furikake' meaning seaweed flakes and sesame seeds and chilli powder for seasoning Japanese rice dishes. My brain helpfully offered up 'futanari' as a substitute for the missing noun, but years of modding forums signalled a need for caution around that one, and indeed it was good I checked before unleashing confusion at the Miracle Mart.

@NanoRaptor Ugh sorry to respond to a joke with seriousness but the Boox Palma might be for you!

@glyph @mattly contracts require an exchange of value not money...

@KatS @glyph @mattly does it?

@KatS @glyph @mattly The value exchanged by the purchaser is their agreement to adhere to the restrictive terms in the license.

@horse @NanoRaptor Mate, I was not looking for advice.

@NanoRaptor I've been using a Mac for 13 years and I still find this disorienting. And the 'window dance' still annoys me — dragging windows around so I can see a corner of the window I need to switch to next. One of the few things Win does better — showing windows previews when you hover over the app's taskbar icon.

Last boost: YES. From now on it's called ChadGPT.

@joeo10 Urgh. This hyperbolic take ignores the metric shitton of research that data and society researchers have done into the harms young people are experiencing around social media platforms and practices. @mmasnick

NY designates social media an 'environmental toxin' for young people... there are some valid regulatory concerns around predatory marketing in and of apps like Instagram to children, but this is just a bit too cute. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/24/new-york-city-social-media-environmental-toxin
